It is these diagnostic tests and analyser systems that contribute towards making Randox Laboratories a world leader in the diagnostic market.
And that is where the County Donegal Diaspora networks have a role to play. Randox have engaged actively with Donegal County Council, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Údarás na Gaeltachta, LYIT and local bodies to promote understanding of the great career opportunities that are now available in the North West.
